Peter and the Wolf
Overview Program Performers

Overview

Step into the big green meadow with Peter, the young hero of Prokofiev’s musical tale. This children’s favorite tells the story of a boy who risks his own safety to protect his dear friends: a duck and a bird. This program, which features the amazing Magic Circle Mime Company, proves that you don’t need to be grown up to discover courage inside yourself!
